On backorder until February 1 2024

Quality TV from most accounts.

Cheapest price at the moment I believe, plus free delivery which reduces a lot of risk for such a big panel.

I talked appliances online down to $2600 on the phone, after getting TGG to price beat (with no stock). Chat would only match to $2668.

https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/product/tcl-85-inch-c845…

As far as mini-LED TVs go, I believe this will similar to the Hisense U7KAU at $3495, if maybe not quite as good, and then well below the Sony X95K which is $4495, soon to be superceded by the X95L

    It'd be way better than the Hisense mini led. Hisense gimp their Australian models with IPS panels instead of VA, so contrast will be much worst than the TCL.

    • teacherer on 26/12/2023 - 14:31

      Very good to know, cheers

    • Rockgod70 on 26/12/2023 - 14:43

      So I'm looking at either the u8kau 75" or this 85" one. Are you saying this one is the better value for $2500ish?

      • TEER3X on 26/12/2023 - 14:47

        Some would argue the TCL is as good or better than the u8, in real world tests.

        real talk

        if this was the US or UK.

        the hisense u8 would shit,on even the sony x90L

        but here,the hisense u8,is really the hisense 7 series from the us,just with a panel change..

        the only good hisense panel is the u9 miniled pro.

        Hisense has better image processing,but the tcl has better miniled algorithm

        hisense for some stupid reason use australia as a dumping ground for the models they cant sell oversees

        now they are still..very good tvs..just if i was paying 2600 id want the sony or c845

        • TEER3X on 27/12/2023 - 08:58

          Yeah the US doesn't even sell the c845, they have a slightly better model… We basically get all the crap here (not that the c845 is crap or anything)

    • ozbargain2019 on 26/12/2023 - 14:52

      Can you link the source of this information? I am unable to find anything online to say the Australian models have IPS panels.

      • reader64 on 26/12/2023 - 15:41

        Tests – Hisense U8HAU
        Image quality – Pass
        It has a 10-bit, 1.07 billion colour/tone Quantum Dot LCD IPS panel.

        It probably does not help that I have the LG QNED99 75”, 8K Mini-LED on the test bench at present (and the LG QNED91 65” 4K Mini-LED last week) because side-by-side the U8HAU image is underwhelming.

      • droptester on 26/12/2023 - 17:05

        https://cybershack.com.au/reviews/hisense-u8hau-2022-4k-mini…

        This is the Hisense U8HAU 2022 for Australia only. It is quite different to the U8Hxx series sold in other countries. Most international reviews will be for the Google TV, VA panel version with superior specifications to VIDAA U6, IPS panel version sold here.

        They used to use the same model number for the US version and the AU version despite different panels. At least now they have the AU tag to help differentiate it.

    Must resist….

    Slightly cheaper here if you are in their delivery area. I would still buy from Appliances Online though as they have been around a long time and I've had good experience with them in the past.

  • TEER3X on 26/12/2023 - 14:46

    If not in a rush just wait until the new models are widely available. The TVs software is not the best and apparently TCL never update things.

    Shouldn't matter if you plan on using a separate streaming device.

    I don't notice any blooming on mine, and I'm very happy with it overall.

    Even the sound is decent, but obviously no match for a dedicated surround sound system (mine will be a 5.2.1 speaker setup)

      2nd this

      jan 6 is ces

      and new tvs launch in feb/march

      so all the old models get price cuts..

      last feb u could grab the 65 tcl miniled from 2022 for under 1300 bucks

      • teacherer on 26/12/2023 - 16:30

        Comparatively

        The lowest the 75 inch c835 got was 1400
        The lowest the 75 inch c845 has been so far is 1600

        So there is definitely wiggle room… Not heaps though.

        No 85 inch ones from 2022 to compare historical lows

  • tadinhah on 26/12/2023 - 14:53

    What was the lowest price for this TV? I've missed the black Friday sales ($1660 for 75") and hoping to get a similar deal for 75" or 85"

    • iknowboonie on 26/12/2023 - 15:51

      During BFCM the 85C845 was available for $2226 with free delivery from Bing Lee when bought using Cashrewards. I am yet to receive it though, waiting on stock to arrive.

      • tadinhah on 26/12/2023 - 16:13

        Thanks. I'm not in a rush so probably will wait for a better price

      • teacherer on 26/12/2023 - 16:28

        That's hot

    • phxsun on 26/12/2023 - 16:03

      Got mine from Bing Lee with cashback for about $2,250. Delivered a week and a half ago and I'm loving it.

      • tadinhah on 26/12/2023 - 16:13

        Thanks for sharing

      • teacherer on 26/12/2023 - 16:46

        I'm going to choose to take solace in the assumption that Bing Lee won't deliver to my area.

        • Appleboat on 26/12/2023 - 18:49

          They were late and delivered a completely smashed TCL (smaller sized) to my location so even when they can deliver it was not good so take solace in that too. Go with another store if possible.

              @teacherer: Yeh, they also said they had no replacement stock until mid-Feb 2024 after mid-Dec delivery (purchased Black Friday). They wanted to switch me to a Hisense with no accounting for the lost discount from BF. Only when escalated to a manager did a unit miraculously appear. I made them promise it is a brand new unit but not holding my breath and expecting further hassles to come.

    Get JB Hifi to price match and buy 10% off GC from any OZB from Classified forum to bring down the price.

  • Pusdi on 27/12/2023 - 08:16

    Currently says "available to order". Will JB hi-fi still price match?

    • teacherer on 27/12/2023 - 08:34

      That's a tricky one

  • anzacpaul on 27/12/2023 - 11:56

    Still available in SA for delivery.

  • iknowboonie on 27/12/2023 - 15:03

    Bing Lee price match and available for Melbourne delivery tomorrow if ordered before 10pm. I got a notification that mine, which was ordered during BFCM, will get delivered tomorrow!

  • Rockgod70 on 27/12/2023 - 18:42

    Any TCL 98" deals coming up?

    just got 75 inch delivered from appliance central… screen came with cracks on it… smh

    • teacherer on 29/12/2023 - 14:24

      Damn dude

      • yewwiehaha on 29/12/2023 - 18:13

        yeah really sucks… now they expect me to wrap up the whole thing myself and return it… such a facepalm

  • teacherer on 29/12/2023 - 18:14

    Surely they'll arrange a courier to pickup?

    How did you prove to them that it wasn't your fault?

    • yewwiehaha on 30/12/2023 - 07:38

      well they said they will need it back and do some tests themselves

      i just turned the tv on and its got crack lines all over the place

      so either had issues when it was being transferred or being handled at the warehouse

    • yewwiehaha on 30/12/2023 - 07:39

      yeah also they have to have a courier to pick it up however they still expect me to wrap up the whole thing myself, which is really annoying considering im injured atm
      it wouldve been good if they just sent the good tv from the beginning
